One of the world's most famous railway locomotives, Flying Scotsman, is to take its first public test-run under steam after a decade off the tracks.
The engine, which was retired from service in 1963, has been restored for York's National Railway Museum (NRM) in a shed in Bury, Greater Manchester.
Low-speed test runs begin later along the East Lancashire Railway (ELR).
Andrew McLean, NRM head curator, said: "From the dead it becomes something living and breathing again."
The first test-run will see the engine move out of its shed and travel a short distance down the track to the heritage line's Bolton Street station.
It marks the end of a £4.2m restoration project, which was begun in 2006 by specialist engineers at Riley and Son Ltd, based in Bury.
